Lee Morin Bio
Dr. Lee M. Morin is a United States Navy Captain and NASA astronaut. He flew aboard STS-110 in 2002, which delivered the S0 (S-Zero) Truss; it was the first time the station’s robotic arm was used for spacewalking and the first time that a crew’s spacewalks were based from the station’s Quest Airlock.
Dr. Morin has logged more than 259 hours in space, including two spacewalks during STS-110 totaling 14 hours and 9 minutes. After STS-110, he was appointed Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Health, Space, and Science with the Department of State, Washington, DC. After this tour, he returned to the Astronaut Office at Johnson Space Center.
He is currently assigned to the Exploration Branch, where he is working on the cockpit of NASA’s newest spacecraft, the Orion Multipurpose Crew Vehicle. He is the supervisor of the Crew Interface Rapid Prototyping Lab (RPL).
